What does Christmas in New York (Cologne) smell like?

Apple and roasted chestnut lead, while spices and egg-nog soften the sweetness into a warm, edible tone. The notes have no top, heart and base split; the scent keeps the same sweet, spicy line from start to finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it sits fairly close to the skin while still reaching people nearby. The number of voters is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Demeter Fragrance Library Mulled Cider (Cologne) and Bud Parfums Jezebel have a close profile.
